Client MashUp: Power
Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga and Jonathan Ive



Oprah Winfrey, the queen of daytime televesion;¹ Lady Gaga, a digital phenomenon;² and Jonathan Ive, Apple’s second highest profile employee after Jobs;³ are just some of the ways to describe these three incredibly influential personalities in the international context. Oprah Winfrey, the host of the iconic daytime television talkshow, the Oprah Winfrey Show; and the first black woman to appear on Forbe’s billionaire list, is the ultimate multimedia icon.¹ Similarly, Lady Gaga has become a new model for success in the space of year, with her impact on music culture, which has been seismic.² Finally, for the hardware industry’s phenomenon that has swept the modern technological world, Apple; Jonathan Ive is the Apple employee most closely identified with the personality and success of its products,³ next to the founder himself, Steve Jobs. With their current high positions of absolute power and influence in their respective fields of work, everybody is waiting to watch Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga and Jonathan Ive’s next move which will unquestionably become the next worldwide phenomenon.

EXP2 Week03: Final Development

36 Custom Textures (light to dark)



Textures Selected for Inclusion in Final Model

Light Texture

Medium Texture
 
Dark Texture


Final 3D Development Model in Crysis Wars

The textures are made up of a repeated use of simple geometric shapes, complementing the model’s representation of order and organisation.


The idea of a ‘space within a space’ represents Freud’s theory of the human mind’s organisation of thoughts and internal operations. Geometric relationships are explored through the amalgamation of multiple rectangles.


The internal spaces of the model, that are constructed by interlocking rectangular prisms, imitate the complexity of the human mind.

EXP2 Week02: Electroliquid Aggregation

3 Amalgamations of Previously Developed Models

Clients: Maria Agnesi and Sigmund Freud
Related Hypotheses: Agnesi was talented in exploring different geometries. She was inspired to do this through her passion of mathematics, and Freud developed the theory of human mind's organisation and internal operations. This design was chosen to be developed in SketchUp and imported into the Crysis Wars environment.

Clients: Sir Isaac Newton and Maria Agnesi
Related Hypotheses: Newton enjoyed collecting his sparks and developed them by connecting with complex academic problems, and Maria Agnesi presented complex circumstances in a simple way.

Clients: Sir Isaac Newton and Sigmund Freud
Related Hypotheses: Sir Isaac Newton wanted to design a parallel universe, and Sigmund Freud struggled with cancer causing contemplation in suicide.

Hypothesis #1 (Left): Sir Isaac Newton wanted to design a parallel universe. This design was chosen to be developed in SketchUp and imported into the Crysis Wars environment.
Hypothesis #2 (Right): Newton enjoyed collecting his sparks and developed them by connecting with complex academic problems.  

Hypothesis #3 (Left): Sigmund Freud struggled with cancer causing contemplation in suicide.
Hypothesis #4 (Right): Freud developed the theory of human mind's organisation and internal operations.  

Hypothesis #5 (Left): Maria Agnesi presented complex circumstances in a simple way.
Hypothesis #6 (Right): Agnesi was talented in exploring different geometries. She was inspired to do this through her passion of mathematics.
